"As an artist, I have always been very careful. When I accept an advertising contract, I have to review the content first to know if my story will affect the people around me or not, if it is healthy or not," Chau Khai Phong affirmed. The male singer added that after the incident, he hopes everyone will be careful with scams, and at the same time apologized, affirming that he will be more careful in the working process because "this is my personal mistake".

At the time of the scandal, Khanh Phuong also wrote a post to clarify that this was a clip edited to slander and fabricate. He said that this incident seriously damaged his honor and reputation. "I am actively working with a lawyer to protect my legal rights," the male singer said. Previously, People's Artist Thanh Nam was also "miserable" and had to correct the fact that his image was faked to advertise gambling sites.

Alarm bell

Recent incidents are like a warning bell when bad guys "target" artists and celebrities to profit and attract public attention. Many people believe that in these cases, artists should not only correct but also take stronger actions to protect their honor and reputation. Above all, they also need to be careful when accepting advertising invitations to avoid "inviting trouble".

Khanh Phuong said that his image was edited, damaging his reputation and honor.

It is no coincidence that many bad guys choose artists to make disguised gambling advertising clips. In fact, when celebrities have a position and influence, their sharing often creates trust with the audience. If artists do not thoroughly understand the product or service and only accept for financial purposes, it will not only affect consumers but also reduce their own reputation, just like the saying "buying a reputation for thirty thousand, selling a reputation for three coins".

Not to mention that artists must be held legally responsible if they disregard disguised gambling advertisements. Speaking with Thanh Nien reporter, lawyer Ha Thi Kim Lien (Phan Law Vietnam Law Firm) said that participating in advertising for gambling activities is a prohibited act according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 7 and Clause 1, Article 8 of the 2012 Advertising Law.

"Any form of advertising, whether direct or indirect, for gambling activities can be handled according to the law," the lawyer emphasized.

A certain sensitivity is required.

Master of Psychology Pham Anh Hoa emphasized that consumers are also affected in their lives and finances if they are influenced by bad advertisements from celebrities, especially those related to gambling. This expert assessed: "Their motivations and goals in life gradually fade away due to attractive advertisements that certain artists perform illegally. Because they are caught up in, using services or buying such products causes their spending and financial planning to be severely affected. When things related to the economy go downhill, all other problems are also dragged down. Obviously, that is a huge consequence of incorrect advertisements from artists, especially those related to gambling or services disguised as gambling."

Therefore, when accepting to participate in advertising activities, celebrities need to set their own principles for checking product quality, service quality and need to have a certain sensitivity towards disguised gambling services.

In the event that artists appear in illegal gambling advertising clips, it is necessary to verify and clarify their level of involvement in this activity to determine the extent of the violation (if any). Any individual who advertises gambling may be subject to administrative sanctions according to Point a, Clause 2, Article 33 of Decree 38/2021/ND-CP, specifically: "A fine of VND 70,000,000 to VND 100,000,000 for one of the acts of advertising goods and services prohibited from trading according to regulations". In addition, the competent authority will also force the person to remove, delete the advertisement or recall the printed newspaper or magazine products with advertisements related to illegal gambling activities.

According to psychology master Pham Anh Hoa: "Nowadays, there is a lot of information on the internet, people can search for the product they want to buy when watching an advertisement, to see if it is of the same quality as the advertiser, especially if the advertiser is an artist. So from the consumer's perspective, it is also necessary to be alert and consider before buying or using the service." (continued)
